Availability
There is always someone home or available. I work & study remotely. I do provide talking dog buttons. If your dog uses them let me know & we will have them available with words your dog uses & hopefully learn some new ones! Anything that is trending that promoted positive life quality for dogs I usually have on hand or am incorporating it into use Each day I incorporate daily walks, cuddles, & basic training. Basic training is eye contact, leash & buddy walking. I provide one on one time for the dogs each daily. I make sure no dog feels left out.

In the summer months their last night of boarding they get a special walk to the ice cream store to enjoy a pup cup & extra one on one time. On weekends in the summers. I am outside most days . The dog/s can enjoy ice bowls, kiddie pool, water sprinklers and shade in the backyard. In the summer I offer water play daily! They have free will to come in & out of the house into the fenced in yard all day! In the fall & winter months the dogs can enjoy outside time by a warm outdoor doggie bonfire. There are areas they can romp in the leaves & explore. I also incorporate daily walks weather permitting. On colder days or rainy days we have a rainy paw day. If the dogs are open to it they can enjoy some doggy stretches, Spaw services such as coconut oil rubs on their paw pads, homemade doggie treats, and dog related movies and cuddles!

A typical day
Everyday there is a AM & PM walk. I base the walks on dog size, age & stamina so no one is overtired & each dog has a choice to stay back & rest in the house or to participate. Usually they all say yes! Each day I provide one activity in addition to the daily walk. Here is a breakdown of what your pets stay looks like! The first day of boarding is focused on settling in & a walk with friends. Everyday I do a paw pad check if allowed they can also get a coconut oil rub on paws. The following days I provide a daily activity. such as doggy stretches & massage doggy cooking/ sampling dog friendly treats & food pup cups Glow ball fetch stuffed bones & doggy bonfire In the summer I offer water play daily. This includes ice bowls with dog friendly fresh fruit, kiddie pool, water sprinklers & squishy water balls Spaw activities I include are brushing/light grooming, one on one time, paw pad check with paw pad fur trim & coconut oil paw pad rub. I do not trim nails but I can work on filing them if needed just ask. 🩵 My repeat clients know to grab a bone or yard pretzel when they see me prepping the fire pit! It's so cute! On the last night of your dogs stay they can have a pup cup or a doggy bonfire. For pup cups we walk to our local ice cream shop with friends! Again all of the above is included!! If your dog is only staying a few days or popping in for doggy day care let me know what activities they would like & I will do them!

Pet Cares
Pet care experience
Welcome! I have over 20years experience working with dogs. I like to look at my pet boarding as an Airbnb for pets! I am a former service dog trainer. I am currently enrolled in dog training courses through Rover. I will be completing a Veterinarian Assistant program this summer.
Reviews
My girls were well taken care of. We got updates throughout our trip and we were able to relax knowing they were loved on and safe. We will be booking with Holly again.
Holly was absolutely wonderful with Kasha and Vraska! She sent us updates and pictures every single day, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. She also shared all the cute little things the girls were doing, so we still felt connected to them even from vacation. Every picture showed two happy, relaxed pups, and it was obvious they were getting lots of love and attention. Knowing they were in such good hands made it so much easier for us to enjoy our trip. We would absolutely trust Holly with our girls again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter. Thank you so much for taking such great care of our girls!
Holly made boarding for my dog Astro easy! We have never used Rover but she told us everything we needed to know. She kept us updated with daily pictures and let us know how he was doing. We are very pleased and will rebook when we need car again! ❤️ 🐶
Maggie had a great time at Holly's house! Lots of updates while we were away and a very happy (tired) dog now that we're home! Thank you again Holly!
